I was automatically permabanned (and unbanned in the meantime), exactly like this anon >>90461, but I still keep getting redirected to farmcow, even though I cleared my cache, what can I try to fix it?

I'm trying to post this video in the chuckle thread:
https://www.tiktok.com/@der.gute.content/video/7412022190461226273
But it's not being accepted. I copied it straight from tiktok and the format seems correct. What's going on?

A nice, cosy, official banner thread to submit your new banners for the benefit and expansion of the website.

Banners must be 300x100

Banners should mention the site directly or indirectly. "lolcow.farm" written, a picture of a cow, etc.

This thread is for discussing the results of the Jan 22 - Feb 5 Hellweek of 2024.

It was requested in the original Hellweek thread that we provide some statistics, so we've spent some time putting together a spreadsheet with some stats which you can access here! Please note that the spreadsheet has 2 pages which you can switch using the tabs at the bottom. The first page is statistics about users, and the second page is statistics specifically about moderation.

For those who don't have the time to read that, here is a brief overview (the spreadsheet has more detailed information):
>Total posts
27775
>Total reports
3165
>Unique posting IPs
8005
>Unique posting devices
5681
>% of posts that are by VPN users

>Total bans

>Total permanent bans

So are we ever going to get an update on this? Or any updates literally at all

Because the entire point of the debacle is the reference to Elon Musk's "Nazi Salute". The only reason why a Nazi salute is deemed inappropriate to begin with is because of its anti-Semitic connotations. Literally the only reason. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't get banned for it.

I'm sorry it had to come to this. I've tried my best since coming on board as admin but the honest truth is that I underestimated the work it takes just to keep lolcow running, not to mention the intensity of raids this year. I thought I could get it done while dealing with my job and personal life too but I was wrong and had to realise that I can't give this community what it needs. A lot of volunteers have stepped forward, so I'm positive that we'll find a great new team. If you want to apply as admin or moderator, email administration@lolcow.farm or join the discord linked in the navigation bar. The hidden board can be accessed through there now since there were complaints about the posting traffic.

The migration to an updated software is still most likely going to proceed, but for now our focus is to find a new admin and more farmhands. Timezones outside of North America will get priority.

It's funny how there's always at least one perpetually victimized anon on /meta/ insisting that lolcow has fallen because of manhate and gender criticism. Why would you want to coddle male/tranny feelings this hard? Are you personally affected? Men and their actions specially troons can be as cowish as anyone else. Cope harder.

Not any of these anons but it's very offputting when you guys will randomly sperg about gendercrit when it isn't the topic of conversation and try to steer other topics toward this. Instead of keeping the ranting in the respective threads, I have to see it being thrown at random innocuous posts. It's almost schizo sometimes with how overbearing it is.

A surprise month of Hellmas is now in effect. For the rest of the month of December, VPN posting will be banned and moderation will be stricter. 

The only exception to the VPN posting ban is the gender critical hidden board as we want the women posting there to be able to encrypt their traffic if they are living in a location where it may not be safe to post their opinions otherwise. 

Please note that the VPN detection API we use is about 95-98% accurate. This means that a small percentage of IPs may be incorrectly blocked or allowed through. If you are not using a VPN and your IP address is blocked, please email us at admin@lolcow.farm and we will submit a correction for your IP to the API provider and add an exception for the time being.

Why are we doing this?
There has been an uptick in the amount of baitposting and infighting in the past few months, and it has gotten much worse in the last few weeks. The use of VPNs for ban evading has made it more difficult to stamp this out.

We would like to address one type of posting in particular: infight baiting. If you are making a post, whether it's your honestly held opinion or not, and any regular user of the site should be fully aware that it is going to cause an infight, you will be banned. Some examples of this:

• Anti-fujo/hime/yume posts outside of containment
• Anti-lesbian/bisexual/het posting
• /pol/sperging
• Extreme tradfaggotry

There are other sites where you can post these opinions freely, and we encourage you to use them instead of causing infights here.

Can’t people with dynamic IPs still ban evade?
Yes they can, but we can put range bans in place that will limit their ability to do so. 

Will this change become permanent?
That is not our intention at this time, but if the userbase is strongly in favour of it, we may consider it.
